What Makes a Good, Traditional Barlow?

[specgrade]

I don't know details of Imperial's history, but there was a time when they made knives in a Diamond Edge series. Here's a link to an advertising flyer from 1979 with the 853DE barlow appearing on the right of the top row:

Hey, thanks a lot! Great information!

You're welcome. Having a knife from your grandfather is amazing!
I have a knife similar to yours (thanks, Kevin), except mine has "DE" stamped on the bolster instead of "BARLOW" like yours:

A siren song to sweet to ignore, fine old cutlery are those.

You know how it is David. Bone rules if the price is right.
Thanks

I do not mind one little bit if you show repeats Wayne . You have so many nice ones , I would expect that it must be hard to remember what you have shown . Just bring them on my friend .
